19th JANUARY 1983 - NIGHT OF THE TRIANGLES

MAYHILL, SWANSEA

Sighting, UFO, Triangle

Between 7.30 PM & 8.30 PM


Peter Watkins, living in Teilo Crescent, Townhill which overlooks Swansea Bay, south facing, had gone out alone to the car when he noticed a triangular craft which had lights at each tip. It was silent and approximately at least 500 feet in altitude. The object travelled slowly from east to west from the Kilvey Hill area towards Sketty. It was visible for about 5-10 minutes before it disappeared from his view, in the Uplands/Sketty direction over the roofs of houses.


He mentioned it to his wife, Claire when he went back into the house. A work colleague of Peter's, living in the top part of Llansamlet, close to the M4 motorway roundabout, saw it as well, says Peter, however he can't remember who this was, just that they had been talking about it and the man said he had seen something too on the same evening.
